Excluding grades from moodle gradebook

Most moodle modules like quiz, assignment and even checklist make it possibel to exclude the grade from the gradebook. This is really important if the moodle gradebook is being used for formal assessment. Moodle quiz can be set to zero grade, assignment set to none and checklist also set to 0. Once this is done the activities can still be completed by students but do not appear in the gradebook. This means the activities can be used as formative assessements and not clog up the gradebook. 

A lot of our H5Ps are used for learning and we do not need the grade, although they may have scoring in them as formative, as you go assessment. It would be good if H5P also enabled the possibitlity to exclude the grades from the moodle gradebook. This could be done by setting the max grade to 0, creating an exclude from gradebook checkbox or even set the grade to none. 

We hope you can include this in your next release. Before this was not as issue when we hosted our H5Ps with you guys as the embed code did not send grades to gradebook. But now we have to hold our H5Ps on our moodle H5P for formative assessment with no grade does not work and always appears in gradebook

Hi Scott,

Thank you for contributing your ideas on how to make H5P better! With the H5P supporter program the H5P community can now vote for and fund the top voted H5P features. Also there are developers in the community who every now and then work on a feature they find interesting or useful.

Post has been moved to the Feature Request forum since this is not a bug but a lack of the needed feature.

Hi Scott!

I like that idea, but is it necessary to set this option in H5P? To the best of my knowledge, the moodle gradebook is only used if activity tracking is activated for the content in moodle.

Best,

Oliver

It would make sense to add a feature to disable grading altogether, as many H5P modules cannot be graded anyway (how does a teacher grade an Accordeon added to format a content page in Moodle?).  In the meantime, we are thinking about editing the mod_form.php file to change the default grade to 0, as shown below:

// Max grade.
         $mform->addElement('text', 'maximumgrade', get_string('maximumgrade', 'hvp'));
         $mform->setType('maximumgrade', PARAM_INT);
         $mform->setDefault('maximumgrade', 0);
